`make world' makes the hierarchy.  I never use `make world' or `make
hierachy', so I'm used to running mtree or mkdir to when `make install'
falls over.  `install' gives good error messages to show the problem:

$ cd /tmp; touch z; install z /tmp/nonesuch/z
install: mkstemp: /tmp/nonesuch for /tmp/nonesuch/z: No such file or directory

This goes to stderr.  The "*** Error code 71" message from make goes to
stdout and isn't as useful.
